Regarding the surgical specialties, the technological progress breakthroughs may determine the appearance of new diagnosis techniques, but also shape innovative treatments, leading to superior therapeutic results. In the surgical treatment as a whole, an essential role is played by the Medical Imagistics. They either offer the much-needed visual support in order to reach an accurate diagnosis, or guide the surgeon in choosing a certain type of intervention. The importance of Imagistics is indisputable. It has also been proven so in intraoperatory guidance and monitoring the patient in post-surgery. In the evolution of medical Imagistics, after the transition to digital imaging, followed by graphic 3D reconstructions based on CT and MRI data, we find ourselves contemporary with a new turning point announcing a technological revolution: the transition from virtual 3D models to tangible 3D replica. Since the beginning, the 3D printing technology has been of great importance to the field of medical research and, once the technique gained popularity, it became a modern tool for many medical specialties, in particular for cranio-maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, oncology, neurosurgery. The 3D printing technology managed to transgress dated barriers by facilitating the manufacturing of implants or implement new treatments in regenerative medicine. The purpose of this original paper is to present our 3D printing work protocol and general conclusions after 5 years of implementing 3D printing in pediatric orthopedics. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":33248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Sciences","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73403920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many patients are in need of emergency operative intervention. However, there are some patients who can be safely managed non-operatively. Every patient with an abdominal penetrating trauma should have a thorough clinical examination. Repeating the clinical examination at regular intervals is the cornerstone of selective management, as symptoms and signs that were initially absent may appear later. \u0000Objective: To see the efficacy of serial physical examination in patients with penetrating abdominal injury thus avoiding non-therapeutic laparotomy in the overall management of patients. \u0000Methods: Convenient and purposive 60 PAI patients admitted in casualty block of Dhaka Medical College & Hospital were selected for selective non operative management (SNOM). On admission the abdominal wound was inspected and neither digital nor direct probing of the wound was attempted. Patients selected for admission had an intravenous line established, a thoracic and abdominal X-ray taken and urine and blood samples were taken. If necessary, a nasogastric tube was inserted. Asymptomatic haemodynamically stable patients were admitted for clinical observation in a single unit during which period the patient was examined by a senior surgeon for clinical re-assessment. Patients were discharged when feeding was normal and if there were clear signs of improvement. Results: Over a 6 month period 60 consecutive patients with penetrating abdominal wound were reviewed. In total 52 patients (86.67%) were managed with clinical re-assessment and discharged without laparotomy. Eight patients (13.33%) underwent laparotomy after observation. Small bowel, liver, mesenteric vessels were most frequently affected. Non-therapeutic laparotomy rate was 0%. After laparotomy the morbidity rates were 62.5% (p = 0.92). One local wound infection occurred without prior laparotomy. Average hospital stay after observation was 2.8 days, after laparotomy 9.8 days. Delayed laparotomy did not increase morbidity or hospitalization. \u0000Conclusion: Our experience with penetrating abdominal trauma supports the concept of selective conservatism based on repeated physical examination. In a well-established trauma center this has proven to be highly effective with remarkably low rates of non-therapeutic laparotomies and absence of missed diagnosis of visceral injuries. \u0000Journal of Surgical Sciences (2017) Vol. 21 (2): 76-79","PeriodicalId":33248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73261756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The frequency of occurrence is highly related to pregnancy and caused due to nipple cracking by a child during breast feeding and bacterial colonization due to improper nursing technique and incomplete emptying of the breast. Objective: The present study compares the outcome and effectiveness of traditional treatment incision and drainage against needle aspiration in the treatment of breast abscess. \u0000Methods: This is a comparative study carried out in department of general surgery, SherE- Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barisal between January 2014 and December 2014. 50 female patients of age between 20-40 years and diagnosed breast abscess with abscess size of 5'7 cm in diameter on ultrasonography were included in the study after taking written consent form.
